We had another "W. R. & S.", William Ritchie & Sons Edinburgh, a while back. 1903 + (?)

The streetights look to be all gas, which would suggest the early part of that date range.

Never been to Banbridge before. Physically or otherwise. The "cut" is intriguing. Looking at it, I'd have assumed it had something to rail or tram traffic - but seemingly it was completed in the 1830s to improve (mainly horse-drawn) through traffic on the Dublin road. As Wikipedia puts it, to prevent horses from falling "faint before reaching the top of the hill". One wonders if the overloaded carts had as much to do with it though :)

Heading to Lennon Wylie for street directories: 1901: No Murphy Temperance Hotel. There is a Sloan and Gilmore cycle repair given as Newry St. 1907: A Miss Murphy on Eden St, Sloan, cycle repairer, Newry Street (Gilmore has opened his own cycle repair shop on Bridge St). 1910: Sloan, cycle repairer, Church square, Murphy, Miss, confectioner and lodgings, Newry street So, I think we are between 1907 (Sloan alone but no Murphy on newry St) and 1910 (Sloan away to Church sq).

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Standing portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Used here , with many thanks.

Frederick Garfield "Fred" Gilmore (May 22, 1887 – March 17, 1969) was an American featherweight professional boxer who competed in the early twentieth century. He won a bronze medal in Boxing at the 1904 Summer Olympics, losing to Frank Haller in the semi-final.

Notes:
I don't think the prefix was "major".

Richard Arthur Norton (1958-): Thank you for the additional information! This does appear to be Fred Gilmore the boxer. It seems he was also a manager for other boxers, and so the prefix should be recorded as Mgr. for Manager, rather than Maj. for Major.

We will add more details to the source data and reload the description to Flickr.
